Electric Powertrain Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global electric powertrain market size reached a value of D 113.50 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.40% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of nearly USD 435.77 Billion by 2034.

Global Electric Powertrain Market Trends

EVs are powered by an electric powertrain, which eliminates the need for an internal combustion engine. An electric powertrain is a small and lightweight mechanism that creates very little vibration and produces immediate torque. These factors work together to produce a high-quality, fluid, and highly responsive drive.

Electric powertrain systems are essential in producing and delivering power to the road surface in electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle applications.

• The growing efficiency and sustainability of the transportation sector are expected to surge the usage of a wide variety of electric powertrains in the electric vehicles sector.
• As traditional fuel cars are likely to become less common in the coming years, the popularity of electric vehicles is expected to grow owing to their environmental advantages and low ownership costs. This is anticipated to fuel the market for electric powertrains in the coming years.
• Governments globally have started implementing favourable regulations to promote the use of electric vehicles and other alternative fuel vehicles. In addition, they are offering attractive incentives to boost the domestic production of electric vehicles, which is expected to favour the electric powertrain market growth.

Global Electric Powertrain Market Opportunities and Challenges

There is a substantial increase in oil and gas prices, the surging depletion of global oil deposits, and rising concerns regarding the environmental impact of fossil fuels. Hence, the automotive sector is witnessing a shift towards green energy. This is driving the focus of automotive manufacturers to develop e-powertrains that consume little energy and emit low amount of greenhouse gases.

Despite the rapid and large-scale penetration of electric vehicles, the market for electric powertrains is hindered by the lack of charging stations. In addition, the rise in battery costs can negatively impact the expansion of electric powertrains.
